OS X Server Calendar Won't Share Calendar via Sharing Settings

I have OS X Server 10.9.1 with Server 3.0.2. The CalDAV server is enabled, and I have a few users who are using calendars from their devices (e.g. Calendar.app on 10.8.5 and iOS 7).    Everythign is working great (events are syncing between devices properly).
If you right click a CalDAV Calendar on 10.8.5 you get a popup saying "Sharing Settings..."   Choosing this gives you an option "Share CalendarName with..." and a dialog box, into which you can type a persons name.   The field autocompletes initially with names (which appear to be from one's local Contacts list) but in a second later some names show up (which appear to be from the Server's list of Accounts).
If I choose one of the people who is in my address book but not a user on OSX Server, then I get an error message "At least one sharee was not recognized by the server. New invitations have not been sent.".    Fair enough: this is how it should work.
However, if I choose a name which only exists on OS X server, I get a beep, and nothing happens.
Possibly related: the usernames on OS X server do not show up with any email address attached (probably because I never set an email address there, as we are not using email there).
Any ideas how or why this is functioning like this?

Trouble Creating Share Point via 'sharing' Command

I'm having trouble creating a share point via the command line using the 'sharing' utility. Basically just trying to script the creation of a /WindowsShares/ share via SMB.
Here is the command:
<pre class=command>sharing -a /WindowsShares/ -n WindowsShares -s 001 -g 000 -i 00 -o 0 -t 1'</pre>
It seems like everything works. <pre class=command>sharing -l</pre> shows this:
<pre class=command>name: WindowsShares
path: /WindowsShares/
afp: {
name: WindowsShares
shared: 0
guest access: 0
inherit perms: 0
ftp: {
name: WindowsShares
shared: 0
guest access: 0
smb: {
name: WindowsShares
shared: 1
guest access: 0
inherit perms: 0
oplocks: 0
strict locking: 1
directory mask: 493
create mask: 420
}</pre>
However, it doesn't seem to write anything to the /etc/smb.conf file... So nothing works.
If I enter the following in smb.conf the share does work:
<pre class=command>[WindowsShares]
oplocks = 0
map archive = no
vfs objects = darwin_acls
path = /WindowsShares
read only = no
strict locking = 1
inherit permissions = 0
comment = macosx
create mask = 0644
guest ok = 0
directory mask = 0755</pre>
However, even after entering this information - when I check 'Share Points' within WGM the share IS listed - but the 'Share this item and its contents' is NOT checked and thus, is confusing and can't be modified from WGM.
Am I missing something when I am creating this share via the CLI?
I assumed using 'sharing' worked the same way as using WGM and checking 'Share this item and its contents' - that works perfectly.
I tried this with 10.4.8 and 10.4.9 Server (Universal).
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply...
I ran the 'serveradmin' command to discover the SMB settings before and after the change via WGM. I restarted the SMB service as well...
<pre class=command>S999EDC1:~ root# serveradmin settings smb:\*
smb:encrypt passwords = yes
smb:log level = 2
smb:display charset = "UTF-8-MAC"
smb:security = "ads"
smb:deadtime = 5
smb:hide dot files = "yes"
smb:guest account = "unknown"
smb:client ntlmv2 auth = "yes"
smb:preferred master = no
smb:defer sharing violations = "no"
smb:adminCommands:homes = yes
smb:adminCommands:serverRole = "domainmember"
smb:adminCommands:ldapRole = "1.1 - hosting a master LDAP directory server\n"
smb:allow trusted domains = yes
smb:netbios name = "S999EDC1"
smb:lanman auth = "YES"
smb:vfs objects = "darwin_acls"
smb:wins support = no
smb:brlm = "yes"
smb:max smbd processes = 0
smb:server string = "S999EDC1 OS X Server"
smb:os level = 8
smb:domain logons = no
smb:passdb backend = "opendirectorysam guest"
smb:dos charset = "CP437"
smb:realm = "EDU.CBE.AB.CA"
smb:unix charset = "UTF-8-MAC"
smb:auth methods = "guest opendirectory"
smb:local master = no
smb:domain master = no
smb:map to guest = "Never"
smb:use spnego = yes
smb:printer admin = "@admin, @staff"
smb:ntlm auth = "YES"
smb:workgroup = "CBEEDU"</pre>
The only difference was that smb:workgroup = "CBEEDU" and smb:log level = 2 were reversed. The settings were the same though. Thought that was odd.
When making the change via 'sharing', there is no change.
Is there any other documentation on 'sharing' other than the man page and CLI Guide from Apple? I haven't been able to find anything concrete.

Pages won't share document via email

Just an FYI: I just experienced the same problem with the Share feature in Pages that others, as long ago as 2011, were reporting: Pages won't initiate the Share via Email function if your document title has a slash (/) in the title. Replacing the / with a dash (or, apparently a space) solves the problem. I'm surprised Apple hasn't, yet, either corrected this issue or at least prominently reported which characters cannot be used in document titles, if you want to be able to use the Share via Email feature. (I should add that the Share via Export worked fine with the slash in the title.)

Ok... so I'm an idiot: in Pages it works fine - I mistook the grayed out 'send via email' option for a normally clickable item, while it's just a header for the three (non-grayed-out) formats which you can send via email.
The problem stands for Word for Mac though - I promise!
thanks again

Shared Calendar entries won't share

I have a shared calendar with my husband through iCloud, set as my default calendar. But if I make an entry from my iPhone 5 the event will not share with the other devices. If my husband makes an entry from his iPhone 4s, or if I make an entry from my iPad Mini or from my iCloud account on my PC, the events get shared with all devices, incuding my iPhone. Ony events made from my phone won't share. This used to work, I'm not sure when the problem started. My thought is the problem lies with the iPhone 5 or ios6. Is anyone else having this issue? Very frustrating!

I'm not sure if it is helpful or not, but I recently had a similar situation happening on my computer. I was receiving events that I made on my iphone, ipad, and work computer onto my home computer, but when I was creating events on my computer, they weren't showing up on any of the other devices.
I'm embarassed to say that in my case it was because I didn't actually have my iCloud account set up correctly. The exact same calendars were created on my mac - so they looked identical, but they weren't actually my iCloud calendars... they were duplicates.
You can open your calendar app, click the top left "Calendars" button. You'll get your list of calendars. Be sure that above the list of Calendars in the gray space it says "iCloud." If it doesn't, you may have had the same issue I had, but on your phone.
Regardless if your problem is the same as mine, since all of your info is on iCloud - the best thing to do is turn off your iCloud calendar on your phone and then turn it back on. It will take a little time for all the events to repopulate.
1 - Open your Settings App
2 - Click on iCloud and be sure the "Calendars" is on. (a good test here is to turn it off and be sure your events disapear on the calendar on your phone. Then come back and turn it back on)
3 - back under Settings again, click on "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
4 - You should have an "iCloud" account in there (if you don't - Add account)
5 - Scoll down this screen to the "Calendars" section
6 - Verify that the "Default Calendar" is one of your iCloud calendars. (You may have iCloud turned on correctly, but you may be putting your new events on the wrong calendar)
Hopefully that helps. Good Luck.

ATT 680 won't sync calendar entries to server

I am using Active Sync to access my e-mail, etc. It syncs everything from server to phone without difficulty. It won't sync calendar or contacts from phone to server (and there is no error message). I think I understand that it can't sync contacts, but should sync calendar. I have seen several postings about this in this forum, but the answers seem to relate to different phones or different carriers. I have the latest update for ATT 680 users which included an EAS update. My versamail is v. 3.5.5
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

You may want to check with your IT professional(s) to see if you can sync Calendar to the server. The reason being is because some servers restrict things or users from doing certain things. The defaults, unless changed, are setup to sync calendar and contacts usually.

Outlook Connector - Cannot share calendars

OK,
I am using the outlook connector sucessfully with the calendar server, messaging server and directory manager. I can collect mail and access the GAL without problem but I am not able to share my calendar with anyone nor view other shared calendars.
To share my calendar with another user I right click on my calendar and go to properties and then the permissions tab. On clicking the Add User button I can enter the userid or search.
If I click search I am able to access the GAL list and select a user. From my directory server logs I can see this action like so:
[05/Apr/2006:14:01:43 +0100] conn=3017 op=0 msgId=1 - BIND dn="uid=jberry,dc=mydomain,dc=com" method=128 version=3
[05/Apr/2006:14:01:43 +0100] conn=3017 op=0 msgId=1 - RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0 dn="uid=jberry,dc=mydomain,dc=com"
[05/Apr/2006:14:01:48 +0100] conn=3017 op=5 msgId=6 - SRCH base="uid=aname,dc=myname,dc=com" scope=0 filter="(&(mail=*)(cn=*))" attrs="cn displayName givenName sn initials uid departmentNumber title homePhone mail manager mobile company pager secretary description facsimileTelephoneNumber l physicalDeliveryOfficeName postalCode st street c telephoneNumber mailAlternateAddress objectClass"
[05/Apr/2006:14:01:48 +0100] conn=3017 op=5 msgId=6 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0]So the search binds to the directory using the uid of my user and returns the required search result (i.e. uid=aname).
Now, when you check your permissions and click OK to add that user as someone who can view your caledar for example it fails with the error message:
User not found. Either enter the email id of the user OR click on Search and then click on Find to locate the user
In the logs for the directory you now get the following:
[05/Apr/2006:14:02:48 +0100] conn=3018 op=0 msgId=1 - BIND dn="" method=128 version=2
[05/Apr/2006:14:02:48 +0100] conn=3018 op=0 msgId=1 - RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0 dn=""
[05/Apr/2006:14:02:48 +0100] conn=3018 op=1 msgId=2 - SRCH base="dc=mydomain,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(uid=auser)" attrs="cn uid mail givenName sn icsCalendar"
[05/Apr/2006:14:02:48 +0100] conn=3018 op=1 msgId=2 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0 etime=0
[05/Apr/2006:14:02:48 +0100] conn=3018 op=2 msgId=3 - UNBINDSo now, for whatever reason, the connector is trying to bind anonymously to make the changes when anonymous bind is not permitted. Surely it should try and bind with my uid as it did when I searched the GAL to get the data...
... or am I looking at this the wrong way?
oh, I can share a calendar through the web interface and it will synch back down to the connector fine, and once a user is there I can change the permissions I can grant that user through the connector.
(p.s. sorry for the sill wide post)
Thanks
Josh

Check you have configured everything as mentioned in the following URL:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2568/6n4rm7fit?a=view
See the following section:
"Shared Calendar LDAP Lookup Configuration"
Pay attention to the fact that you need the following set in ics.conf:
service.wcap.userprefs.ldapproxyauth = "yes"
Let us know if you still have problems. BTW: What build of the connector are you running? You can find this out by selecting "Help -> About Sun Java System Connector for Microsoft Outlook". The build number is given in the top right hand corner of the about window. ie. 7.1.222.4.

Can I Share Calendar without Exchange Account? in outlook 2013 (Professional Ed.)

Hello,
I would like to share my calendar with one of my office colleague, we are not using Microsoft Exchange Server, we are on Google business Apps Account.
My Share Calendar option is Grayed out (Plz. refer to attached image).
I will appreciate if some may inform the possibility to enable Share Calendar option ?
Thanks & regards
Ali

Hi,
The Share Calendar option is only available for Exchange account. If you want to share calendar for a non-Exchange account, you'll need to publish it online. See:
https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/Share-an-Outlook-calendar-with-other-people-cafb9303-1b1e-40d3-839d-b6abac03a5e8
Since you are using Google Apps Account, you can try using Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook. With this,
you can easily share calendars with other Google Apps users, both within your organization and publicly. People can view your calendar either in Outlook or from their Google Calendar account in a web browser. See:
https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/178356?hl=en

Calendar won't import existing Exchange events.

Hi
I've been using an old 2007 MacBook Pro running OSX Lion to sync my MS Exchange email, contacts and calendar to Mail, Address Book and Calendar in OSX without issue.
I've just got a new MacBook Pro 13" running Mountain Lion and have set it all up as usual. Address book and Mail are synching perfectly, but for some weird reason it's not importing any of my existing Exchange events.
I've tested the settings by putting a new event into Calendar to see if it appears in Exchange web portal (it does), and have then deleted it in the web portal to see if it deletes from Calendar (it does), so adding and deleting new stuff works fine, but anything that was in my Exchange calendar before I set up my new MacBook won't appear.
I've thought about importing the appointments from my old MacBook, but that will just double everything up on the Exchange end of things I suppose.
Any ideas how to get these events to appear?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, sorted this by completing the process in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4173886?start=0&tstart=0
Open Calendar.
Go to the Calendar menu and select Preferences.
Select the Accounts tab.
Remove the Exchange server account which is giving you the error messages. This calendar will be removed from the Calendar app.
Go to System Preferences and click on the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" pane, find your Exchange server account, and check the "Calendars & Reminders" option to re-enable your calendar.
Your Calendar should now sync properly.

From your description, I recommend you follow the steps below to use Outlook safe mode to determine whether the issue is related to add-ins.

I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones.

I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones. We both have company email addresses. I have had to install and uninstall my gmail info on my iPhone multiple times due to errors sending and receiving emails from my company email address on my phone. For some reason, all of my emails are getting stuck in my outbox when my gmail account is installed on my phone. When I delete it, my emails get sent automatically. This is really annoying! I would do without the gmail account, but I need to share calendars with my husband. How do I fix this?

If you have two-step verification turned on in your email account, you'll have to log in with a browser and turn it off.

mac book pro with Mavericks 10.9.5

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
